Contactors for Capacitor Switching

UA..RA 3-pole Contactors for Capacitor Switching
Unlimited Peak Current Î
Application
The UA..RA contactors can be used in installations in which the peak current far exceeds 100 times nominal rms current. The contactors are delivered
complete with their damping resistors and must be used without additional inductances (see table below).
The capacitors must be discharged (maximum residual voltage at terminals ≤ 50 V) before being re-energized when the contactors are making.
Their electrical durability is 250 000 operating cycles for Ue < 500 V and 100 000 operating cycles for 500 V < Ue < 690 V.

UA..RA Contactors for Capacitor Switching (UA 16..RA to UA 110..RA) with insertion of damping resistors.
The insertion of damping resistors protects the contactor and the capacitor from the highest inrush currents.
